Chapter 144: Youthful Dream(2/2)

"What do you want to do?" When Elton John learned that Ronald had not found someone as expected, he felt even more that this was a performance art with a classical romanticism. Ronald's approach was simply too outrageous.

It fits the style of an artist.

"I would like to talk to two ballet companies, become their patron, and offer a position as a principal dancer in the ballet company. Antonia is really talented. She was the last person selected by George Balanchine to join the New York City Ballet.

A group of actors."

Ronald put away his disappointment and decided to secure the sponsorship first. Antonia left New York and came to London first, which shows that she really hopes to dance in these two ballet companies. In this case, he helped her secure a seat first.

It has fulfilled its promise back then.

As long as she is still looking for opportunities in Europe, sooner or later she will know that there is a special position for her in the London Ballet Company. It is nothing more than meeting later. At most, Ronald will go back first, and then wait for Antonia to come back, and then meet again.

"Okay, let's go. I'll make a few calls and find someone to help guide the way." Elton John felt that inspiration was popping up all over his body. The two young people parted ways. Afterwards, the actor, who became famous, came again.

Retrieve old love. How romantic...

Elton's reputation in Britain was even more famous than in America. He quickly found a civil servant who had retired from the position of secretary to the parliamentary minister and took them to the ballet to learn about the situation.

"The Royal Ballet is the oldest dance company in London. It is the highest place of British ballet art. It must have commensurate conduct and ethics to match the artistic achievements of highly skilled actors."

Ronald looked at the executive of the Royal Ballet and said a bunch of long sentences with clauses within clauses, but he didn't understand. Is this asking him to sponsor it?

"What does this mean?", Ronald asked Elton's friend.

"He said you were not a British citizen and had no title."

"But I have money..." Ronald took out his checkbook, "How much does it cost to sponsor a major actor's position for a year?"

"I very much appreciate Mr. Li's love for the art of ballet, but this is not a commercial act. Sponsorship is due to the appreciation of ballet and the noble behavior of dancers willing to focus more on honing their skills. Become a sponsor of our group,

What we value more is the understanding of ballet art. I wonder which dance drama Mr. Li likes?"

The executor is similar to a manager. He secretly curled his lips. Is the Royal Ballet a place with little money? The word "royal" is not only an honor, but also a franchise. Various gentlemen with titles, talents, subsidies from government departments, and

The honorary titles of retired parliamentarians and senior civil servants are the logic behind this patronage game.

"Patrons usually need to be passionate about ballet dance and willing to support and promote the development of the art. In fact, becoming a patron does not depend on your career, status or wealth, but more on your love for art and

Support the dance company.”

Seeing that Ronald couldn't say anything, the other party hid his disdain even more, "I have this season's dance drama schedule here. Mr. Li can start with this season's Nutcracker."

"Damn it, I know Swan Lake." Ronald's knowledge of ballet is shallow and limited to some superficial understanding. He has neither watched many dance dramas nor is he a fan. He has only watched a few New Year's NBC broadcasts.

field.

"Where is the English National Ballet?" Ronald felt that there was no chance here, so he asked Elton's friend, another ballet company with a shorter history, established in 1950. This one must not also have very high requirements.

Bar?

"In fact, it's almost the same. Our ballet is government-funded. Compared to the New York City Ballet, the London patron is just an embellishment in terms of funding sources. Therefore, this is more of an honor for those with high-level knighthoods.

Add a title."

"Do you know any high-ranking British nobles?" Elton John himself knew quite a few, but it was difficult for him to come forward in such matters.
